Your job will be to provide high quality, loving care to clients customers while they are away. This includes - but is not limited to - going on walks, playing outside to burn off energy, feeding, giving medications, cleaning up messes, and much more!
HOW IT WORKS:
- Our sitters are employees, not independent contractors so your taxes are automatically withheld.
- Each sitter is trained one-on-one by the owner and lead sitter, and training hours are paid.
